Learn How To Prompt Already

Hi there,

I revived this blog to rant about why you don’t need frontier LLMs, and why your permission policy is a joke, then I switched to how to do good with Krea 2 prompting, and now I’m ready to give you the best of both worlds: ranting and showing cool things at the same time!

So, multiple people poked me with comments like “hey, you are telling with a straight face that you have to prompt model correctly, but look, I can tell my %whatever model of whatever provider of whatever size% does the job even with simple Do the job, make no mistakes prompt, and it just works!”

Krea 2 Prompting Skill

Hi there,

This post is an “I built a thing” post about krea2-prompting (opens in new tab), an agent skill for writing Krea 2 prompts I built recently.

Basically, that’s it: try the skill, have some fun, see you later!

Yeah, I get that it’s a bit unnatural for this blog to have a page this short, so here is some absolutely unnecessary information in case you just want to waste some time.

Stop Enter-ing, YOLO It

Intro

Well, hello there!

How’s your Enter doing? Pressing it all day, are we?

It’s time to stop. Previous post, same spirit: You Don’t Need A %Frontier LLM%.

The take

You should enable YOLO mode (skip any permission checks), inside a sandbox, and call it a day. You are wasting a lot of time just to press Enter hundreds of times per day, and you don’t actually care what exactly your agent does in that moment.

Intro, Disclaimers, etc.

Hi there,

A while ago, I removed the blog section from this website because I didn’t have anything interesting to write about.

Well, today it changed - welcome the first blog post on this website! The blog section was restored literally because of it.

And it’s a rant, yup.

I’m a backend developer, I’m talking about using LLMs for Go backend development.

The take

I’ve been using AI for a while, and I had to work with different providers and models, including Anthropic and OpenAI, and I have to say: you do NOT need Astra, Fable, Opus, or whatever shiny new supermodel is released this week.
